Seeker: Dear James, I am really enjoying worshiping Kali who, despite her form, always leads my mind to a sattvic state. I am also doing a lot of jhana/samadhi meditation to purify the mind.
I realized one of the reasons you do samadhi-type meditative practice is that one can observe in real time how the jiva recreates itself automatically from awareness as the background. Seeing it versus reading about it are two different things. The mind has to be really sattvic to see the creation of the world instantaneously. This practice has helped me tremendously.
James: This is an excellent point. It shows that the Creation – Isvara, jiva and the objects – are a projection. Maya is creating and destroying the world every minute from second to second.
